In brief
The DF83 V2 is a large electric single-dose grinder with 83 mm flat burrs. It is the bigger-burr sibling of Turin's DF64. Its adjustment collar sits on top, under a bellows for clearing grounds.
The DF83 V2 is discontinued. Turin's store no longer lists it. Turin now sells the DF83 Gen 2 and also lists a variable-speed DF83V, sold out when checked. Turin says the Gen 2's "current exterior should not be confused with older DF83 V2 reviews."
This page covers the V2, which you can now buy only used or refurbished. If you want a new grinder, look at the DF83 Gen 2 or the current alternatives below. The V2's trade-offs are noise, static and sheer size.
What it does well
- Low retention: Tom's Coffee Corner saw about 0.1 g with the bellows after six months
- Fluffy, even grounds, per Tom's Coffee Corner
- 83 mm burrs swap for SSP and other upgrades, Honest Coffee Guide notes
- Turin still sells spare parts for the V1 and V2
Where it falls short
- No longer sold new; Turin warns its DF83 Gen 2 shouldn't be confused with V2 reviews
- Louder than a Eureka Specialità, Tom's Coffee Corner found
- Static without RDT, and the chute can clog (Tom's Coffee Corner)
- Very heavy, with no built-in grip

What it does well
Tom's Coffee Corner's 2022 review doesn't name the version it tested, so read its findings as DF83-wide. Retention is low. It measured about 0.6 g at first, which it put down to new burrs. After six months it saw about 0.1 g when using the bellows.
The grind is even. Tom's Coffee Corner describes it as fluffy and homogeneous, and found the collar easy to adjust. It moves about 270 degrees between espresso and pour-over.
The V2 fixed early problems. One Home-Barista seller lists two changes from the V1: a redesigned metal exit chute and declumper, and a plasma ion generator against static. The seller says the metal chute fixed plastic deformation on early V1s.
The burrs can be upgraded. Honest Coffee Guide notes the DF83 takes SSP's 83 mm burr sets. A Home-Barista owner adds that the format also fits Mazzer burrs.
Where it falls short
It is loud. Tom's Coffee Corner says it is noisier than a Eureka Mignon Specialità, enough for a partner to notice. Each dose still takes only three to four seconds.
Static and clogging need managing. Tom's Coffee Corner found static an issue without RDT, a spray of water on the beans. The chute can clog if the portafilter is placed wrongly.
Alignment varies between units. One Home-Barista owner found decent burr alignment on a two-week-old V2, but noted scratches on the burr faces. A used unit may need checking.
It is big and heavy. Tom's Coffee Corner weighed it at 10.8 kg, with no built-in grip.
Who should buy it, and who shouldn't
Consider one used if you make espresso one dose at a time and want room to try aftermarket burrs. Tom's Coffee Corner also uses it for a drip brewer, by grinding coarser. On Home-Barista, one regular says DF83 models may suit traditional to semi-modern espresso.
Skip it if you want a quiet grinder, or have little counter space. Skip it too if you want a maker's warranty, since this model is no longer sold new.
Refurbished units do turn up. One Home-Barista member in Europe reported a refurbished V2 with warranty on offer locally in 2025.
How it compares
The DF64 Gen 2 is Turin's smaller single-doser with 64 mm burrs, still sold new. See DF64 Gen 2 vs DF83 V2 for the dials side by side.
The Niche Duo also uses 83 mm flat burrs in a single-dose body, and is still sold new. Niche sells espresso and filter burr sets separately.
The Eureka Mignon Specialità is quieter, by Tom's Coffee Corner's account. It is a hopper grinder with timed dosing rather than a single-doser.
Owning it
Turin still lists spare parts marked for the DF83 V1 or V2, including an adjustment collar, an upper burr carrier and V2 bellows. It also lists DF83 chutes and DLC-coated DF83 burr sets.
Clean the chute and declumper regularly, since a Home-Barista regular reports a tendency to clog. Our guides to cleaning a burr grinder and reducing grinder static cover the routine.
If you fit new burrs, check alignment afterwards. See how to replace grinder burrs, then start from the settings chart on this page.
